Three blocked from CU work

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (7/10/08)—Three former credit union employees are barred from participating in the affairs of any federally insured financial institution under the most recent enforcement order issued by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUA has blocked a former credit union teller from Washington, a former credit union loan officer from Tennessee, and a former credit union loan officer from Indiana from future work at those institutions. According to an agency announcement posted on its Web site late Tuesday:

* Anita Hubert, a former loan manager at Community Choice FCU, Indianapolis, Ind., consented to a prohibition order, without admitting or denying fault, to avoid the time and cost of litigation; * Anne M. Massey, a former teller at Simpson Community CU, Shelton, Wash., was found guilty of theft and sentenced to serve 18 months in prison and ordered to pay $3,970 in restitution; and * Patricia A. Russell, a former loan officer and Visa coordinator for First Kingsport CU, Kingsport, Tenn., consented to a prohibition order, without admitting or denying fault, to avoid the time and cost of litigation.

Violation of an NCUA prohibition order is a felony offense punishable by imprisonment and a fine of up to $1 million. Use the resource link below to view NCUA enforcement orders.
